Op 17 September 2024 het kommunikasie-radioroepers wat deur Hezbollah-lede gebruik is gelyktydig in Libanon en Damaskus, Sirië, ontplof. Teen 19 September 2024, was 37 mense is dood,^[1] insluitend ten minste 12 burgerlikes.^{[2][3][4][5][6]} Die ontploffings het verskeie Hezbollah-vestings geraak, insluitend Beiroet se Dahieh-voorstad, suidelike Libanon, en in die Bekaavallei.^[7][8][5] Hezbollah het die voorval as die organisasie se "grootste veiligheidsbreuk nog" bestempel.^[9][10]

Na kommer oor die veiligheid rondom die gebruik van slimfone deur die Hezbollah leierskap uitgespreek is, het die organisasie 'n nuwe handelsmerk radioroepers gekoop, Gold Apollo AR924-modelle wat vanaf Taiwan ingevoer is.^[11][12] Hassan Nasrallah, sekretaris-generaal van Hezbollah, wat op die ontploffings gereageer het, beskryf dit as 'n oorlogsdaad^[13] en waarskynlik 'n oorlogsverklaring deur Israel.^[14] Hezbollah het belowe om wraak te neem. Na die ontploffings het die Israeliese minister van verdediging Yoav Gallant 'n "nuwe fase" van die oorlog teen die Spilvennote van Weerstand aangekondig, met 'n fokus op die noorde van Israel (wat aan Libanon grens).^[15]
